If your lights are out in Coburg, Oregon, the fastest answer comes from your utility’s live outage map, not from a news article. This page explains what has been reported as of September 30, 2026, which companies serve the city, how to report an outage, and how to stay safe until power returns. It focuses on Coburg, Oregon. Other places named Coburg are covered briefly below.
Latest Update: September 30, 2026
As of September 30, 2026, I found no news report of an active or widespread power outage in Coburg, Oregon. I also found no live outage figure for the city from Pacific Power or Emerald People’s Utility District (EPUD). That does not mean your home has power. A small outage on a single street often never makes the news, and outage maps change by the minute.
The most recent Coburg outage I could confirm was planned. It ran from 10:30 p.m. on Friday, October 11, 2024 to 7:00 a.m. the next morning and covered all of Coburg and nearby areas, according to local station KEZI. That is almost two years ago, so it is not the cause of any outage today.
Which Company Serves Coburg?
Two utilities work in the Coburg area. In 2024, Pacific Power and EPUD coordinated to repair or replace equipment there, which is why both were involved in that planned outage. Which one serves your address depends on where you live, and your electric bill will name your provider. Coburg’s city government has said questions about outages should go to Pacific Power or EPUD, not to City Hall.
How to Check and Report an Outage
If Pacific Power is your provider
Pacific Power says customers can visit its outage page, text “OUT” to 722797, or call 1-877-508-5088 at any time. The state utility commission also lists 877-508-5088 for Pacific Power outages. Texting “STAT” to 722797 gives updates on an existing outage. Try resetting your main breakers first, since Pacific Power suggests this before you report.
If EPUD is your provider
Check EPUD’s own website or the phone number printed on your bill. I did not find a verified EPUD outage number in my research, so I am not listing one here.
Check whether it is just your home
- Look at your neighbors’ windows and streetlights.
- Check your breaker panel for a tripped breaker.
- If only your home is dark, the problem may be on your side of the meter.
Past Coburg Outages
Coburg has had both planned and weather-related outages. Besides the October 2024 planned outage, Pacific Power once reported that a winter storm with snow and ice on the wires left the Junction City and Coburg area about 60 percent restored while crews were still working. That release’s date is not shown in the version I found. It shows that winter storms can cause longer outages than a routine equipment repair.
Oregon’s utility commission also warns that wildfires, ice storms, and other severe weather can cut power for many people. In some dangerous fire conditions, utilities may turn off power on purpose to prevent a wildfire. This is called a Public Safety Power Shutoff, and utilities say they contact customers directly when one is needed.
Safety During an Outage
- Stay away from downed power lines and assume they are live. Report them right away.
- Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed. As a general guide, an unopened fridge keeps food cold for about four hours.
- Never run a generator, grill, or camp stove inside your home or garage.
- Use flashlights instead of candles when you can, to lower fire risk.
- Unplug sensitive electronics so a power surge does not damage them when service returns.

Wrap-Up
Coburg is small, and a single failed transformer can darken a neighborhood without any news coverage. That is why a utility’s live map and text alerts are more useful than a news search. If you signed up for outage texts, keep the number saved and check the map before calling, since call lines get busy during big outages.
